Question: (Last edited: Tuesday, 21 February 2023, 3:24 PM)E-Library: How can I access books and journal articles online? | |||
---|---|---|---|
Answer: We have partnered with Perlego, EBSCO, Willey, Vital Source, and other publishers to ensure over 1,000,000 different titles of books and over 2,000,000 journal articles are available for our students and teachers. Students and staff can access these resources via the "Online Library Resources" on Wittenborg-Online. A special search function is created in this page to search all journal articles in our database (see Figure 1 below). Moreover, together with our partner, EBSCO we have developed a special widget on EBSCO search engine which will also assist you to find articles on open source publishers such as Google Scholar (see Figure 2 below).. We highly recommend students to use these resources before browsing through other external sources for the same articles or books. Figure 1

Question: (Last edited: Tuesday, 14 July 2020, 10:03 AM)EEG: What is the EEG and where can I find it? | ||||

Question: (Last edited: Tuesday, 6 April 2021, 8:39 AM)Emergency Contact: Where can I find important telephone numbers in case of emergencies? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: You can find basic information about living in the Netherlands from Wittenborg-online, on your Dashboard under the title ‘Information for International Students in the Netherlands or through this link: https://www.wittenborg-online.com/enrol/index.php?id=1183 All information pertaining to your living in the Netherlands, from the time before your arrival to after you graduate can be found here. If you are staying at Wittenborg’s accommodation, the student housing information booklet placed inside your room and in the common area contains emergency numbers in case of urgent needs. This information can be found in the first page and contains numbers of Wittenborg Housing Department, Police, Fire Brigade and Hospital. Generally, the Dutch emergency number for police, fire department and ambulance is 112. The Call Centre respondent will respond to the call and ask who you are, where the emergency takes place and what the emergency is. They will then send the right forces (police, ambulance or fire service) to the scene. Note: Only call these numbers if the matter cannot wait another minute with the issue. The Netherlands has a strict policy on emergency numbers. It is considered a crime to unnecessarily call 112. They will charge the person who calls the emergency number for nothing. If
someone needs the police for something else than an urgent crime, they can be
reached at 0900-8844. For minor
issues destined to be solved by the fire department, the phone number of the
Apeldoorn fire department is 055-548 3555. In case of health issues, if one is not in immediate life danger, do not call 112. Call the Family doctor’s office by dialling 0555333288 and press 1 for emergency. They will tell you what to do next. If someone has a major health issue out of office hours, they can call the Apeldoorn Huisartsenpost. The telephone number is 0900 - 600 9000. They will give you instructions on what to do next. Note: Do not go to the emergency room/hospital without calling the Huisartsenpost first. This will not be covered by the insurance and it will take a lot of time before they can help. | ||||

Question: (Last edited: Monday, 28 June 2021, 9:56 AM)GA/FP: Can I do a Business Plan for a Graduation Assignment? | |||
---|---|---|---|
Answer:
Yes, you can. But it is advised only to choose this option if you have specific plans to start the company you want to write the Business Plan for. This is because writing a Business Plan is the most challenging option and it requires a lot of reading and research with such an in-depth engagement in finance that it is only worthwhile to go the extra mile when you actually need that information for your future plan. | |||
Question: (Last edited: Monday, 20 December 2021, 6:05 PM)GA/FP: Can I request a change or extension in the submission of my Graduation Assignment? | |||
---|---|---|---|
Answer: The deadlines are clearly stated in the EEG in tabulated form and on the online area, so that students can plan and meet the exact deadlines looking backwards from the expected block of graduation. However, if you feel you are not able to submit your final GA or any of the parts of the GA at the specific date, you need to discuss with your Academic Supervisor in advance. | |||
